St. Louis Rams 17, Detroit Lions 10
The Rams broke a 17-game losing streak yesterday in Detroit and they played a pretty well rounded football game. Marc Bulger did not have a good game for the Rams as he completed 17 of 35 passes for 176 yards with 0 TD passes and 1 interception. Kicker Josh Brown threw the best pass of the game for the Rams on a fake field goal as he hit TE Daniel Fells that went for a 36 yard TD. Steven Jackson was an absolute beast in this game for the Rams as he carried the ball 22 times for 149 yards (6.8 ypc) with 1 TD run and he also added 3 catches for 17 yards (5.7 avg). Keenan Burton led the Rams in the passing game yesterday with 5 catches for 54 yards (10.8 avg). The Rams finished up this game with 362 total yards on offense in this game (150 passing, 212 passing).
Linebackers James Laurinaitis (7 tackles, pass defensed) and Paris Lenon (7 tackles) led the way for the Rams on D in this game. Safety James Butler also had a solid game for the Rams with 4 tackles, 2 passes defensed and 1 interception. The Lions finished up with 289 total yards on offense in this game (127 rushing, 162 passing). The Rams are now 1-7 on the season.
Not a bad game at all.
Also wanted to pass this along-
Local Fantasy Football Tournament for Rams fans.
A chance to start your favorite Rams player (or whoever)…
A chance to play with local FF leagues.
If you live in the St Louis area there is a one-day FF tournament at the Fox and Hound in Chesterfield Nov. 8, 2009 (that’s a Sunday). It’s a sponsored event so Charter Communications will donate $1,000.00 in honor of the winner to a local charity. But also: giveaways of Rams memorabilia and “quick-hit” contests to give away Charter HSI service and other prizes like a webcam.
Do it!
